Royal Navy Continues to Scramble Warships as Another Russian Ship Spotted in English Channel

The Plymouth-based Type 23 frigate closely monitored and launched a Merlin helicopter to gather information from the air, before handing over escorting duties to NATO allies as Golovoko continued its journey from the Mediterranean

The Royal Navy has scrambled a warship to escort a Russian frigate out of UK waters. The RFN Admiral Golovoko was spotted sailing east through the English Channel, prompting the Navy to launch HMS St Albans to monitor the Russian ship.

The Navys Type 23 frigate, which is usually moored in Plymouth, closely tailed Vladimir Putins vessel and launched a Merlin helicopter to gather information from the air. The escort duties were eventually handed over to NATO allies after the Golovoko was safely out of UK waters.

Elsewhere in the Channel, Portsmouth based patrol ship HMS Mersey tracked RFN Soobrazitelny as the corvette sailed westward, while Royal Fleet Auxiliary tanker RFA Tidesurge supported the operations.

Russian tanker Kola was also monitored heading in the same direction in a coordinated effort with the Joint Maritime Security Centre.

For HMS St Albans, it was the second such activation this month, having monitored Steregushchiy class corvette Stoikiy in a three-day operation two weeks ago.

HMS St Albans Commanding Officer, Commander Matt Teare, said: HMS St Albans is at very high readiness to operate whenever, and wherever, the nation needs us in the protection of our home and the waters surrounding it.

We have twice been activated in recent weeks to conduct this type of operation and I am extremely proud of the professionalism of my crew and their tireless dedication to keeping our nation safe.

We were proud to work alongside HMS Mersey and I would like to thank RFA Tidesurge for her logistical support during the operation.

HMS St Albans is currently operating as part of a NATO Task Group and the regularity of Russian activity around the United Kingdom reinforces the vital importance of continuous integration with our allies and partners.

Having departed from Portsmouth on Tuesday, the flagship leads the Carrier Strike Group as it deploys to the Indo-Pacific. By sending the Royal Navys largest and most powerful aircraft carrier to the region, the government is keeping the UK is secure at home and strong abroad, one of the foundations of its Plan for Change.
